The Spin
Climate-skeptic narrative
The massive CO2 spike suggests that natural cycles, not human emissions, drive atmospheric changes. Climate models rely on disputed feedback assumptions that inflate warming predictions from less than 1°C to 2-4°C. These computer simulations lack real predictive power because they're tuned only to past data.
Climate-concerned narrative
Record CO2 levels prove climate change is accelerating beyond human control. Natural systems like forests and oceans are now adding carbon instead of removing it, creating dangerous feedback loops. The tripling of CO2 growth rates shows urgent action is needed before it's too late.
Narrative C
Carbon dioxide is no pollutant but life's cornerstone. Vital for photosynthesis, CO2 fuels plant growth and enhances global ecosystems. Far from harmful, optimal levels — five times higher — could supercharge vegetation, proving CO2 is the indispensable currency sustaining all life on Earth. There is still much to learn about complex atmospheric processes.
